Hi Answer Person!
I recently bought Dukeopoly (monopoly but with familiar Duke sites as the places on the game board). While most of the places I recognize (Duke Chapel, Cameron Indoor, the Gardens)- one I have never even heard of- I think it might be an old reference. Could you please tell me what “The Bog” is? Thank you for your help!
Too Young and Clueless
The BOG probably refers to Bunch of Guys, an independent living group that was disbanded by the Judiciary Committee in 1992 for alcohol violations. The BOG resided, at least at the end of its lifespan, in Building HH, Few Quad. While latterday BOG members might be infamous, a little bird told me of at least one earlier member who’s a highly respected member of the Duke community today (I must admit, though, that after learning he lived in the BOG I haven’t been able to look at him without imagining him with a 40 in his hand and a lampshade cocked rakishly on his head).
So, young? Perhaps. But not clueless.
